Who Should Buy It?
- ✓ A good fit for larger hobs or wide cooking areas that benefit from a 100cm hood.
- ✓ Suitable for buyers who want to choose between external ducting and recirculating operation.
- ✓ Well suited to kitchens where decorative styling and integrated hob lighting matter.
- ✓ The intensive setting may appeal to people who regularly cook at high heat or prepare strongly scented dishes.
Extraction performance and controls
The hood provides three standard speeds, moving from 334 m³/h at the lowest setting to 606 m³/h at the highest standard setting. An intensive mode raises extraction to 787 m³/h, giving additional headroom when cooking creates stronger odours or steam.
Control is handled by two Victoria-style knobs. Noise is listed at 51 dB(A) on the minimum setting, 64 dB(A) at the highest standard setting and 73 dB(A) on intensive, so the quieter lower setting is likely to be more comfortable for routine use.
Installation and filtration
The Smeg KT100BLE cooker hood can be installed for ducted extraction or in recirculating mode. Charcoal filters are included for recirculation, while the 150mm vent outlet supports a compatible ducted arrangement.
Three aluminium anti-grease filters are provided, alongside a non-return valve. The available product information identifies minimum clearances of 750mm above a gas hob and 650mm above an electric hob; these requirements should be checked against the planned installation.
Design, lighting and efficiency
Its 100cm width, glossy black finish and Victoria chimney design give the hood a prominent decorative presence. The steel-effect control knobs and Smeg branding reinforce the retro-inspired appearance.
Two 2W LED lights provide 3000K illumination across the hob and can be operated independently of the fan. An A energy efficiency class and stated annual consumption of 48 kWh/year support efficient everyday use, while the lighting efficiency class is also A.
